I would not do a Fly Gemini. It's design is more of a Ender3 board replacement.
Many thanks! Seems to be that, when performance customizations are involved, all the community agree that Octopus Pro is the only way to go. Everything else is asking for troubles.
48v is nice but not really needed in most cases and can complicate your build.
Yes, I know, needs appropriate PSUs, high voltage motors, TMC5160 drivers, (probably) advanced cooling etc. Without all of such things 48V will make very little difference. I'm prepared for this and I think will be very fun.
With the Rapido UHF you will need a longer version of Steathburner or whatever toolhead you choose so keep that in mind. Also when it breaks its an expensive replacement.
From what I've read, in a stealthburner, rapido requires a 3D printed adapter, is this what you're talking about? Same is for Galileo 1, but on Galileo 2 seems to be they fixed this issue.
I've also read that a 5015 fan should be used (I was thinking to B8500RPM, the one with the highest cooling capability). Not sure if other mods are needed, I think the best is to handle each thing over the time and one by one. Trying to get all the needed parts and complete the whole build at once is asking for troubles.
I didn't checked life time, what is supposed to break and with what frequency? The Rapido is rated as the best with the most rock solid design and I didn't saw any breakage report.
Consider Beacon or Cartographer for the toolhead probe.
Many thanks! I can't find none of the twos in the BOM list. Is this an enhancement not part of the stock design? I suppose that in my case Cartographer is mandatory because the only one with CAN compatibility. I still have to investigate on what could be the most suitable CAN board, but at first glance the Mellow ones seem the best ones in terms of features. They also sell a cheap IGUS control cable for which I saw many good feedbacks. In a 48v setup I suppose I should only go with 42mm motors, but can't find any Mellow CAN board for them. Apart from this, whatever the CAN board I'll end up with, can I expect this probe to work or I need to specifically check for compatibility?
I would really try and stick to the stock build unless you are sure about your build skills with the exception of Galileo as I am not a fan of Clockworks.
Well, this was my initial plan, a stock Voron with very little changes. Then, once I saw the users mods, I simply couldn't resist. I'm afraid is too late for me to go back. Although I still have to buy the parts, I invested lot of time in researches related to customizations. After all, user customizations is what Voron is known for. If I only wanted to go stock, I would have been better off with a Bambulab.
When I compared the twos, I saw Galileo the clear winner on most of the specs. What you don't like of the SB? I need one last reason to definitively stick with Galileo because I'm still in doubt. SB is still the most diffused in the community and there are plenty of videos, tutorials, mods etc. Even if Galileo is a bit easier to install, I feel like there are so many user mods for the SB that could make it even better than Galileo. Am I wrong?
What site is recommending an Orange Pi5? That's an oddball clone that was mainly used a bunch when actual Raspberry Pis were scarce.
I didn't posted the
link because this was my first thread and I was not sure it was allowed. The main reason for the recommendation seems to be the included wifi and bluetooth, better features and all of this at pretty much the same price (see "High performance setup" section).
Going with a true Raspberry Pi will be an easier path. I have a Pi 4 2GB on the Trident and it's overkill and a 3B on the V0.2 because I couldn't get a Zero 2W when I was building it--so it's also overkill.
I can only find the Zero 2W at acceptable prices, but I have big concerns about its usability on a 2.4, even more when customized for high performance. IO Throughput is also very limited, so I can expect issues even there.
I should receive soon a Lenovo M920q (16Gb RAM, 8th gen i5-8500T cpu) that I'll use as a NAS. My original plan was to use it also as an host for the printer, but I've read in an old thread that printings are very likely to fail when klipper runs through docker. Is this true 100% of the times and in any case or something changed in the meantime?
I may be wrong, but to me, as of now, an x86 Mini-ITX board seems to be the best option. It should cost a bit more than a Zero 2W, but for sure there aren't issues with system resources and IO. I'm not sure if in the bay there is enough space for an Octopus Pro + a Mini-ITX board combo, but at worse I can always install a board on top of the other and still mantain a compact style. Am I wrong?
), Pis were still scarce then. The easiest IMHO would be an Octopus and Pi 3 or 4; there's tons of Vorons on that combo so lots of support.
